    Coolant in valley, leak.

    Had another new leak show up. this truck sits a lot now. Not sure if it is related to that or not. Last leak was upper radiator hose, thermostat housing. Was all dry after that. Now I smell it, I see coolant in the valley. Looking online, the two most common would be crossover pipe gaskets...

    Air in the system compresses in the line. once it reaches someplace like the TCC apply clutch it expands and applies the clutch.

    Turbo pedestal oil leak after replacing O rings

    Maybe I will try that next. I know more than once I have googled "best o-rings" and ordered them. Not so sure I haven't tried a set already. I put some 400 wet or dry on a piece of glass and sanded it down some. I need to try again with the masking tape and see if it is better or worse. If...

    4r100

    Is it the OEM trans? Meaning it has the PWM lock up control? Or has it been rebuilt with an on/off TC control? It kind of does sound electrical. Can you unplug the elect. connector and try it? See if it still locks up, which would point to something mechanical. Or if it does not lock up...

    Turbo pedestal oil leak after replacing O rings

    Running a feeler gauge under the pedestal the tightest spot, about the only spot that touches the glass is the small o-ring surface, and it is the tightest where I thought it was leaking. I am so confused right now. Suppose I will try to mill it some and then install again to compare.

    Turbo pedestal oil leak after replacing O rings

    I tried to install the pedestal only last night with plasti gauge under it, but could not find my plasti gauge. Wanting to try and see something I used a piece of masking tape. Torqued the pedestal down. Removed and read the tape impression. Where it is marked in red I tried to capture it...

    Stand Alone Trans Controller & OneGauge Digital Gauges

    Good Question, I would imagine you could unplug the cluster to test that theory? I honestly don't know.

    Turbo pedestal oil leak after replacing O rings

    Okay, pulled the turbo, can anyone see what is wrong? I don't think I can. I had used a little permatex which actually helps read what is going on here. Looks like the permatex was pushed out completely allowing a metal to metal contact. Anyone got ideas? If I buy another pedestal I would...

    Turbo pedestal oil leak after replacing O rings

    I have called and searched all over. It seems the garrett pedestals are nowhere around. Back order everywhere. Not sure what I will try next. Reading this thread kind has me thinking about the plasti gauge though. Might be interesting see what it tells me. Pretty easy to do with the turbo off...

    Turbo pedestal oil leak after replacing O rings

    Are there any updates to this? First thread I came across. I have a Full Force pedistal and after my 3rd try, with permatex it still leaks between pedistal and block. Was pretty confident it was the FF pedestal and was getting ready to order the KC turbos one, but now I am not so sure they...

    Do it all tire recommendations

    It is funny who owns and makes what now. In addition to Avon, Cooper Tire manufactures tires under the associated brand names Dean, Mastercraft, Mickey Thompson, Roadmaster, and Starfire.[20] Cooper Tire formerly manufactured all tires sold under the Sears Guardsman brand at Sears, Roebuck &...

    Do it all tire recommendations

    Goodyears are always a crap shoot. Every time I buy a set I say never again. But then afraid to go with something unknown. I currently have what you are calling the wrangler allterrain with Kevlar. They used to be just the wrangler and before that they were the comfort pro or quiet pro or...

    Rear diff ID

    I have always run Mobil 1. it is like 75w-140 I think. It is supposed to have the modifier in it, but I usually get a clunking and end up having to add it anyway. There is nothing wrong with the 75w-90 or any other weights in that range. If you are changing it at all, that is more than most...

    Extended cranking, fuel system tests.

    I moved the truck a few times this weekend. Now that I try to video every start, starting up cold is pretty decent. Still leaning towards that PCV or injector return flow. but watching this weekend makes me think it is something that moves, like the PCV being sticky or lazy. I am not a sure an...

    Rear drum adjusting issue

    Yep, didn't seem like it was going to fall out so I left it. It's been 10 years but I bet I still have that cable laying in the bottom of my locker at work. LOL

    Rear drum adjusting issue

    I went through a similar problem and I gave up. Think I found the adjusting cable that moves the star wheel was too short. I had someone pump the brakes while I laid under it and listened and spun the wheel. It never stopped adjusting. First one I think I made the big eyelet on the cable egg...

    Extended cranking, fuel system tests.

    Pulled and checked LP rail sensors last night. Dry no leaks. I pulled the return, Interesting, I am reading the high pressure rail pressure. with Zero system pressure it would bounce from 42 to 0 constantly. So I am now wondering about the pressure sensor and pressure control on the High...

    Extended cranking, fuel system tests.

    It is surprising how often you read guys putting in a CP4 and although they found shavings and needed it, it did not fix their problem. CP4 could very well be where I end up but I hate guessing and in my case I don't see any reason for it unless maybe I have had low fuel pressure for a couple...

    Extended cranking, fuel system tests.

    I have an extended cranking situation and looking for any insight. Truck always starts. First try every time. But where my 2016 starts on the first revolution this 2014 may take 3-4 revolutions to fire up. Does matter if it is hot or cold, sits for a minute or a month. Cycling the key before...

    Should I make the switch?

    Guy here at work ordered a new pickup with Tremor package in late march, early april. They gave him a discount for waiting. Was supposed to be here a couple weeks ago. Now they are telling him they have no idea when it will show up. They currently do not have all the parts needed to build it...
